How to manage camera modes on Galaxy S25 (and Galaxy S24, S23, S22, and S21 with One UI 7 update)?

By default, the Galaxy S25 Camera app displays only three camera modes (of a total of 14) below the shutter button. However, you have the option to add additional camera modes and reorganize them according to your preferences, thereby facilitating quicker access to these modes when needed.

This Galaxy S25 camera guide explains and shows you step-by-step how to add more Galaxy S25 camera modes to the app interface and manage them to meet your needs.

This guide applies not only to Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, and S25 Edge, but also to other Galaxy phones with the One UI 7 (Android 15) update, including Galaxy S24, S23, S22, and S21. Samsung unified the camera app in all Galaxy S phones with One UI 7.

The One UI 8 (Android 16) update for Galaxy S25, S24, S23, and S22 added additional exposure control for the Pro mode and Pro video model.

To manage Galaxy S25 camera modes on Galaxy S25, you may follow these steps.

Step 1: Open the Camera app

You can open the Camera app on your Galaxy S25 in a few different ways, for example,

  • Tap the Camera app icon on the Home screen.
  • Tap the Camera app icon on the Apps screen.

When an alert from Now Brief comes in, it slides up behind a stack of notifications from active apps on the Now Bar.

Customizable widgets enable you to manage and personalize the layout of widgets on the Home screen. Certain widgets, such as the weather, clock, sleep score, and gallery, can slide into view from both the left and right sides.
